Looks almost there with the paint, Reinhard @grimreaper. Leaving the rockets off, using replacements or modifying the kit ones?

Your Night fighter is getting closer to crossing the finish line. It looks really good too ! It also reminded me that I don't have a F6F night fighter in my built kits. I'm thinking about adding a radar to one of my next builds. Keep it going ! I don't blame you guys for cutting off the rockets.

started with the decals
realized that the F(N)4 decals are oversized, so are the fuselage number 21 and the cowl number 88 for the second scheme in this weekend edition, sadly found no suiting replacement in the decal stash...well it is how it is
funny thing is that I saw built up "21" models with this Weekend Edition kit where the number size was correct, seems there happened an oupsie at Eduard, some kit tranches with correct decals and some with oversized

Very nice start on the exhaust stains, Reinhard @grimreaper
Your dad started with white?
Reinhard Spreitzhofer said 1 year, 2 months ago:

yes, airbrushed MRP White, the rest will be done with oilpaints
